Windows 10: rmdir/del change read-only state of src hard links

We have assets backed by Perforce that we need to duplicate into another folder hiearchy. To do this we use mklink /H to create hard links to the source files. Our makefile deletes this folder hierarchy every build, and relinks the files that are present. But I'm seeing that rmdir or del both change the read-only state of the source files. This then messes with Perforce's read-only tracking state, and it can't clobber the files as a result.How is it that rmdir/del can't just delete the hardlink without modifying the attribute state?This is on Win10.Version 10.0.19045 Build 19045 Here's

Way to disable PCI-E link state changing?

  I was scouring the internet for the reason the version changes, but came up empty.
  
  
  I'm guessing it has to do with power saving, good analogy is speed step/turbo mode on a CPU. It does draw some additional power run the PCIe bus speed at full throttle.
  
  
  Summary of PCI Express Interface Parameters:
  • Base Clock Speed: PCIe 3.0 = 8.0GHz, PCIe 2.0 = 5.0GHz, PCIe 1.1 = 2.5GHz
  • Data Rate: PCIe 3.0 = 1000MB/s, PCIe 2.0 = 500MB/s, PCIe 1.1 = 250MB/s
  • Total Bandwidth: (x16 link): PCIe 3.0 = 32GB/s, PCIe 2.0 = 16GB/s, PCIe 1.1 = 8GB/s
  • Data Transfer Rate: PCIe 3.0 = 8.0GT/s, PCIe 2.0= 5.0GT/s, PCIe 1.1 = 2.5GT/

 

Not deleting old OneDrive folders - rmdir is missing

As I recall from DOS days and class I took at the college, that command is not a file but built into the Operating System, is part of the OS. There's quite a few commands like that and most still exist in the latest versions of Windows at the Command Prompt. The first EDIT is correct, typing rmdir /? or many other such commands gives a list of switches that can be used with the command. An example would be opening a Command Prompt window and typing dir /s/o which will list all the files and Folders in the C:\Users\USERNAMEHERE Folder. Adding /p gives a screen-full at a time. Adding >dir.txt [without the /p] gives a text document in that Folder for reading and/or printing.
